Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of permanent magnet motor technology, and in particular to a tangential permanent magnet motor rotor structure. Background Technology
[0002] Permanent magnet motors are a type of motor that does not require excitation coils or excitation current. They generate a permanent magnet magnetic field using permanent magnets, are highly efficient, and have a simple structure. With the continuous improvement of the performance of permanent magnet materials and the development of motor technology, permanent magnet motors have been widely used in various industries.
[0003] Traditional permanent magnet motors typically employ a surface-mounted rotor structure, where magnets are bonded to the surface of the rotor core. Since the relative permeability of the magnets is close to that of air, the surface-mounted rotor structure results in a large effective air gap and low air gap flux. To improve the power density and torque density of the motor, permanent magnet motors usually adopt an embedded rotor structure, where magnets are bonded inside the rotor core. This effectively reduces the effective air gap, increases the air gap flux, and thus improves motor performance.
[0004] Existing embedded permanent magnet motors, especially those with tangentially magnetized rotor structures, can effectively increase the air gap flux by utilizing the "magnetic focusing effect" of parallel magnetic circuits. However, there is severe magnetic leakage at both ends of the magnets in this structure, resulting in low utilization of the permanent magnets. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a tangential permanent magnet motor rotor structure to solve the problem of low utilization rate of permanent magnets.
[0006] Based on the above objectives, this utility model provides a tangential permanent magnet motor rotor structure, including a rotor core. The rotor core includes a yoke disposed at the center of the rotor core and a plurality of magnetic pole units uniformly arranged along the radial direction of the rotor core. The magnetic pole units surround the yoke. A placement slot is provided between two adjacent magnetic pole units. The placement slot includes a main magnet slot disposed away from the yoke and a secondary magnet slot disposed close to the yoke. The main magnet slot and the secondary magnet slot are respectively provided with matching main magnet bodies and secondary magnet bodies. The main magnet body and the secondary magnet body are respectively a high remanence body and a low remanence body. The width 'a' of the main magnet body is smaller than the width 'c' of the secondary magnet body. A main magnetic barrier is provided on the center line of the magnetic pole unit. The main magnetic barrier is located on one side of the contact position between the main magnet body and the secondary magnet body.
[0007] Optionally, a magnetic support connected to the yoke is provided between two adjacent magnetic pole units to support the auxiliary magnetic steel body.
[0008] Optionally, the height b of the main magnet is greater than the height d of the auxiliary magnet.
[0009] Optionally, a secondary magnetic barrier is provided on the center line of the magnetic pole unit near the yoke, and the magnetic pole unit and the yoke are connected by a magnetic isolation bridge.
[0010] Optionally, the distance w1 between the main magnet and the main magnetic barrier is greater than the distance w2 between the auxiliary magnet and the main magnetic barrier.
[0011] Optionally, the distance w3 between the secondary magnet and the secondary magnetic barrier is less than the width w4 of the magnetic isolation bridge.
[0012] Optionally, the main magnet and the auxiliary magnet are respectively a neodymium iron boron magnet with high remanence and a ferrite magnet with low remanence.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a tangential permanent magnet motor rotor structure. The rotor structure has a main magnet and an auxiliary magnet arranged between two adjacent magnetic pole units of the rotor core. The main magnet and the auxiliary magnet are respectively the high remanence body and the low remanence body. The main magnet and the auxiliary magnet adopt an unequal width design and cooperate with the main magnetic barrier, which can effectively reduce the magnetic leakage of the magnet and improve the utilization rate of the magnet. The width 'a' of the main magnet is smaller than the width 'c' of the auxiliary magnet, ensuring that the main magnetic circuit is larger than the auxiliary magnetic circuit, so that more effective magnetic circuits can be followed. The auxiliary magnet assists the main magnet, effectively reducing the magnetic leakage at the end of the main magnet and improving the overall utilization rate of the magnet.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a tangential permanent magnet motor rotor structure includes a rotor core 1. The rotor core 1 includes a yoke 16 disposed at the center of the rotor core 1 and a plurality of magnetic pole units 13 uniformly arranged along the radial direction of the rotor core 1. The magnetic pole units 13 surround the yoke 16. A placement groove is provided between two adjacent magnetic pole units 13. The placement groove includes a main magnet slot 11 disposed away from the yoke 16 and a secondary magnet slot 12 disposed close to the yoke 16. A main magnet body 2 and a secondary magnet body 3 are respectively provided in the main magnet slot 11 and the secondary magnet slot 12. The main magnet body 2 and the secondary magnet body 3 are respectively a high remanence body and a low remanence body. The width a of the main magnet body 2 is smaller than the width c of the secondary magnet body 3. A main magnetic barrier 131 is provided on the center line of the magnetic pole unit 13. The main magnetic barrier 131 is located on one side of the contact position between the main magnet body 2 and the secondary magnet body 3.
[0022] The rotor structure incorporates a main magnet 2 and an auxiliary magnet 3 between two adjacent magnetic pole units 13 of the rotor core 1. The main magnet 2 and the auxiliary magnet 3 are respectively a high remanence body and a low remanence body. The main magnet 2 and the auxiliary magnet 3 are designed with unequal widths and work in conjunction with the main magnetic barrier 131 to effectively reduce magnetic leakage and improve the utilization rate of the magnets. The width 'a' of the main magnet 2 is smaller than the width 'c' of the auxiliary magnet 3, ensuring that the main magnetic circuit is larger than the auxiliary magnetic circuit, allowing for more effective magnetic paths. The auxiliary magnet 3 assists the main magnet 2, effectively reducing magnetic leakage at the end of the main magnet 2 and improving the overall utilization rate of the magnets.
[0023] A magnetic support 14 for supporting the auxiliary magnetic steel body 3 is provided between two adjacent magnetic pole units 13 and connected to the yoke 16. The magnetic support 14 provides high mechanical strength, reasonable structure and simple manufacturing process.
[0024] The height b of the main magnet 2 is greater than the height d of the auxiliary magnet 3. Since a is less than c and b is greater than d, the main magnetic circuit is larger than the auxiliary magnetic circuit, allowing for more effective magnetic paths. The volume of the main magnet 2 is smaller than the volume of the auxiliary magnet 3, and the ratio of the amount of the main magnet 2 to the amount of the auxiliary magnet 3 is appropriate.
[0025] A secondary magnetic barrier 132 is provided on the center line of the magnetic pole unit 13 near the yoke 16, and the magnetic pole unit 13 and the yoke 16 are connected by a magnetic isolation bridge 15.
[0026] The distance w1 between the main magnetic steel body 2 and the main magnetic barrier 131 is greater than the distance w2 between the secondary magnetic steel body 3 and the main magnetic barrier 131. Since w1 is greater than w2, the main magnetic circuit is larger than the secondary magnetic circuit. The effective magnetic circuit generated by the main magnetic steel body 2 passes through w1 first. Since w1 is greater than w2, an effective magnetic circuit can be reserved for the secondary magnetic steel body 3, and the first part of the magnetic circuit of the secondary magnetic steel body 3 is effectively utilized.
[0027] The distance w3 between the auxiliary magnet 3 and the auxiliary magnetic barrier 132 is less than the width w4 of the magnetic isolation bridge 15. Since w3 is less than w4, the effective magnetic circuit at the bottom of the auxiliary magnet 3 is narrowed, while ensuring the width of the magnetic pole unit 13 and the yoke 16. Overall, the auxiliary magnet 3 assists the main magnet 2, effectively reducing the magnetic leakage at the end of the main magnet 2 and improving the overall utilization rate of the magnet.
[0028] The main magnet 2 and the auxiliary magnet 3 can be neodymium iron boron magnets with high remanence and ferrite magnets with low remanence, respectively. The main magnet 2 is made of neodymium iron boron material with high remanence, which exhibits high magnetic field strength. The auxiliary magnet 3 is made of ferrite material with low remanence. High remanence neodymium iron boron has low content and high price, while low remanence ferrite has high content and low price. The presence of the auxiliary magnet 3 improves the utilization rate of the main magnet 2, reduces costs, and is more economical.
